Android App Tablet Review: AndroidSocial for Facebook

Review for AndroidSocial for Facebook

Posted October 13, 2011 11:00pm by Andrew Koziara Tags: Tablets, Facebook, Social Networking

APPOLICIOUS ADVISOR RATING:

2 of 5 bars
  • PRICE: Free
  • TASTY: It's nice that there aren't the usual Facebook advertisements, I guess.
  • BUMMER: All the missing features.
  • COOL: I'm not really sure what would apply here.

AndroidSocial for Facebook is a new way to use Facebook, designed specifically for Android Honeycomb tablets.

The app blows things up, but doesn't utilize the bigger screen in the way it should. Things are a bit messy, and several features are missing. There is no way to use the messaging or chat features whatsoever.

You can still look at profiles, groups, and news feeds, but the design is odd. All the posts come in blue boxes rather than white, which can make posted links hard to read, along with just looking strange. When looking at profiles, you can only access their wall, not their information. Also missing is a general search bar.

This app is a nice start, but it needs to be cleaned up before it becomes a premiere Facebook app.
